Abstract

 College of Saint Mary Library has collaborated to bring Holocaust and genocide education to the library and wider campus. While being a small Catholic institution, there has been strong campus-wide involvement and alignment of values with the project. Library staff have been an integral part of the planning process for programming and funding, while also hosting exhibits within the library and working on collection development. Given the overall success of the exhibits and related programming, along with the high levels of community engagement, there are plans to continue building future initiatives.
